I slept well last night.
I enjoyed the day today at work.
Sadie is doing so well with her house training.
I sewed the cuff on my pants leg this evening. And, yes, I can if necessary!
I got to see Becca tonight!
I am excited for tomorrow. Yes, just to go to work!
I need to get my license updated with my new address.
I love my husband!
People should learn the true definition of evolution and not be so closed minded. Educate yourselves!
I love practicing my violin.
Oops! I just remembered I owe my sis in law an e-mail!

Relief, Heartburn, and More Relief!!
So, the title............
Relief: My last day at my previous employer was Friday. Reactions were as expected on the most part. Some day they'll get it, then again, some never change. We had a potluck that day and I overate big time. Seriously, I was miserable. After work I met a few co-workers at Jalisco's and we had margarita's and then our men joined us for supper.
Heartburn: I knew not to order but Rusty wanted me to so I did. I didn't eat much of it. We then went and played some pool at The Stadium Club. What a change they have made since we went in 2008! It's pretty nice....and smoke free to boot! I had already taken an antacid but that didn't help. It was about 1:30 when I finally got up to take another one and that was only after being in bed for about 2 hours. I was so MISERABLE! I finally fell asleep for a little bit around 4:00 then went to bed at 5:30 only to get back up at 7:30. Overeating, Margarita's, and Mexican do not go well together!
Relief: Around 9:00 it started to subside and I slept ALL day on the couch. It felt sooooo good. Let me just say, LESSON LEARNED! lol Moderation, moderation, moderation. The good thing......my weight is still where it was.
I have been much the procrastinator lately. I am proud to report I haven't practiced violin since Thursday. Not proud so much, just glad I was ABLE to not pick it up. I need to do some heavy duty studying today for my classes on the 8th. I start my new job tomorrow and I am so excited as they offer, and require, what I look for and NEED in a job.
1. Strong work ethic
2. Responsibility
3. Reliability
4. Supervision
5. Professionalism
6. Efficiency
7. Benefits
8. Excellent compensation plan
9. Professional Environment
10. Did I mention work ethic???? Reliability???? Dependability????
I think most people think I left my current job due to salary. That couldn't be furthest from the truth. The pay is just icing on the cake. I prefer to work somewhere that when a co-worker decides to call in, leave early, or just flat out not do their job MY work is NOT effected. If Jo Blo decides not to be responsible and work as expected..........not going to effect me. And, if Jo Blo does pull that crap all the time...........it won't be tolerated. And not just for certain people. For EVERYONE regardless of your friendships and status with others. My kind of place. Sorry, just something I feel very strongly about hence, the change!
Here are a few pictures from the previous week.
This is Sadie Long-legs (as a friend calls her) and I watching TV. This was AFTER I got a massage from my hubby, and a head massage also! It was so awesome. Thanks babe! Um, when are ya gonna do it again? :-D
Here is the ceiling fan we bought with the gift card we got from Gene and Jeannie for Christmas. We love our new fan and it looks SO much better than the ghetto one we had that was missing the center globe. Now if only we would have known we'd need a new vacuum cleaner the very next day after we put this up. Oh well.
That's it for now folks! Gonna go dry my hair and try to get a little motivated!
P.S. I am so gonna miss my friend Becca.

Not Much Here
See Becca, even when I don't have ANYTHING to blog about I am doing so. :op
Today the weather got really cold again. I am happy that I am not further south in my native Oklahoma......my hometown has lots of people without power. Even if we were without power here I wouldn't mind too much because we have a fireplace and plenty of wood thanks to Gene! Thank you Gene!
Tomorrow is my last day at my current job. Bittersweet, but mostly bitter?? LOL There are several reasons I am looking forward to a switch. More to come on that later.......
I am super sad that my best friend Becca won't be able to work my last day with me. She is out on maternity leave. Even my great friend Wanda won't be there but she is at least coming for lunch! Awesome thing is that we will still be great friends........it's not like I'm moving!
Ok, I'm gonna get to bed. Gotta get up early and go pick up Daylight Donuts for the office tomorrow! Took over a year, but I CAN be nice. Ha Ha

Here We Go Again
So, here we are again. My lovely sister in law from Vegas finally blogged FOR ME!! That means I need to keep up with mine. Plus, Becca said so!
I have two more days at my current place of employment. I do have to say I am getting kind of excited and extremely lazy with it. At least I didn't "quit" when I turned in my notice. I have seen some quit putting forth effort just because they weren't going to be there in the future and this was several weeks BEFORE they actually left! I believe in working until the very end, but we'll have to see how these last two days go! LOL The words "piss on it" come to mind! ha ha
Sadie is sitting next to me grumbling and moaning. She is so tired and I am keeping her up! LOL Rusty and I had our "family meeting" tonight to discuss her being in our household. His only worry is that the people who brought her to us would prefer to have her back and they just aren't telling us. That leaves me torn. I would rather have her be with them if that's what they want but I have already started getting attached to her and I really think she is getting attached to me! That's my dilemma. Anywho.
I am tired and just want to go to bed. That will be AFTER we see if little miss Sadie can take care of some business OUTSIDE preferably! G'night!

Two for Two!
I am going to try and get back into my blogging. Not sure how long it will last but I am sure I will have lots to blog about soon!!!
This little shit is FULL of energy! Not me, Sadie! She loves to run around with a toy and squeak it. Marley has even began to kind of play with her. Her and Bubba LOVE to chase each other around the yard. Big ole circles!
I had my third violin lesson today. Rusty had gotten me one for Christmas a few years ago, at my request, but I never knew where to get lessons. I was also always afraid they would be too expensive. The high school here in Hays has always had an orchestra program so I knew I wanted to get a hold of them but was still afraid of the price. The orchestra teacher came into my current place of employment and thanks to a co-worker I got signed on. She actually had an opening too! I can now play certain songs like Mary Had A Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old McDonald and some others. I can actually read the music too. She is impressed with how far I have come in three weeks. Oh, I can also play Jingle Bells! My main goal is to play Amazing Grace. I will have to download the sheet music to it.
My next thing is studying for my license course I will start on the 8th.
Thirdly is exercising.
So, can you guess in which order I prefer to do these things? Probably so. I come home and want to do NOTHING but play violin. Here it is almost 10:00 and I am going to go practice a few songs before bed.
So, that's it for now! Time to go fight the long legged creature for space in bed! And, again, I mean Sadie!!!
